  1. Looks great ! I have ordered the same Schneider mcb's , thanks for reminding me about indicators
  2. I will have 16 x 3 to use I plan on a manual change over switch , isolator and RCD per row . (Not sure if changeover switch in the center "off" position is acceptable as isolator ?) I will also have geyser and pool on contactors controlled by a 4 channel sonoff switch allowing me to control when they run . I hope to get solar "output" signal from the multiplus or venus is there any way to do this ?
  3. Thanks this was very helpful. Did you use 2 earth leakage units ? One for row 3 and another on row 1 ? My Inverter will be roughly 7m from my DB , would I be able to run the CT this far ?.
  4. Hi I am getting ready to install a victron multiplus ll however need to sort out my DB first . I am installing a 3 row surface mount over my existing DB. row 1 would be high current .oven , geyser , garage and inverter supply ( Eskom ) row 2 circuits I would like to run through inverter (Solar) row 3 critical loads (Battery) To those who have solar what circuit changes would you do if starting with a blank slate ? And to @plonkster the master of victron , if feeding back to grid is this done via AC In ? Cheers
  5. Check out smartthings , you wont look back .

  7. Wow guys I was so happy to come across this ! I have been lurking on this forum and trying to learn for the last couple months . This setup is exactly what I am wanting to do , other than battery choice that is . So far I have ordered Multiplus ll 3000/48/35 Venus GX Bluesolar MPPT 150/60 (have concern here any advice would be appreciated) I have not made up my mind on battery as yet but looking at pylon 3.5 kWh as it seems to be the best value ? I really cant wait to start my solar journey and thank you all for sharing your knowledge!
  8. Hi just wondering if everything is sold ?
